1989 Honda Prelude 2.0i-16v 4WS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew on the Autobahn, and I had to buy a new engine from Japan, but apart from that not bad. It goes better with the new engine anyway, as it is a slightly later model.
General comments?
Excellent car, the best bit is the four wheel steering bit, turns on a penny, plus supreme stability in highspeed corners. The acceleration ain't too bad either, plus there is no room in the back which means you'll never be too weighed down to pull away from the lights. Traction control might be a bonus !!!!
